Today the entire school had the opportunity to listen to an inspirational presentation put on by 'Right To Play' in the gymnasium. We also learned about some Paralympic sports and the need to get out and find something active that you love and not to stay at home, eat unhealthy, and be inactive.

Students learned about changing their voices when reading according to specific punctuation that is present throughout a book. 

"   " Talking Marks  -->  You need to change your voice according to how the character is feeling, what they are doing, etc. 

.  Periods --> You need to pause and take a breath before beginning the next sentence
